We had to take the cats out once the temperature dropped enough, which we don’t usually do after dark. They went straight out to look for possums. And whilst they didn’t get close, they did see one.

I took heaps of photos with my phone, trying to get something useful.

I'm only like half-joking. There's a psionic discipline in the AD&D Players Handbook that goes out of its way to imply #marsupials are harder to control than other mammals, but the game didn't have any marsupials to control.

Despite its name, the Sulawesi bear cuscus (Ailurops ursinus) isn’t actually a bear. So what is it? 🤔

It’s an arboreal marsupial that lives in tropical forests throughout parts of . It uses its long claws and prehensile tail to aid it in cruising between branches in the canopy. This critter moves slowly and spends a good deal of its time resting and digesting all of the fruits, flowers, and leaves that it eats.
